    When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really   16  memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could   17  get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was   18  . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my   19  . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
    After my family moved back to Singapore, I    20  going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 21  with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we   22  up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going   23  the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a    24   shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China    25  sign.
    We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe,   26  we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write   27   a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.
    Three weeks later, I arrived home and   28  my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
    That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had   29 the post office all these years. Today I   30  send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.

    Have you ever complained（抱怨）why life is so tiring? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time . If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find that the whole world smiles to you.
    While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
    One day it is fine . Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain . Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather . But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest .
    Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided . I think failure(失败) is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
    Attitude（态度）decides everything. With an optimistic（乐观的）attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.

    People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
    At first , mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to new things, because when you are trying new things your are growing. If you never try new things , how can you improve ? How can you create? The simple answer is, “ You can’t .” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
    Another good thing about mistakes is this : when your are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this： Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
    Finally , when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
    We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way , but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited. (有限的)
    There is an old saying, “ If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.
    根据短文内容，选择正确答案，并将其字母代号填人题前括号内。(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
    小题1:If you are making a mistake, that means____.
    A．you’re carefulB．you’re kind
    C．you’re growingD．you know nothing.
    小题2:If you never try new things, you can’t ____.
    A．improveB．createC．spendD．A and B
    小题3:After Edison failed 10,000 times, he _____.
    A．gave upB．invented the light bulb
    C．invented the computerD．invented 10,000 new things
    小题4:When you make a mistake, you are closer to ____.

    What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
    If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=" 98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," while love: 12+15+22+5="54," and luck: 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer? They can’t, either.
    Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, which is your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark!
    Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
    When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure, you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
    小题1:Some people think it is important to have hard-work, knowledge, _______in their life.
    小题2:According to the passage, the mark of the word “money” is _________.
    小题3:From the passage, we know it’s possible for you_______if you change your attitude.
    小题4:People will meet_______ towards them when they change their manners and become friendly to others.
    小题5:The main idea of the passage is that ___________.

    Assertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions, feelings,attitudes, and rights, in a way that doesn't infringe（侵犯） the rights of others.
    Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don't like, we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.
    Why is Assertiveness important?
    If you don't know how to be assertive, you might experience:
    ?Depression - Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no　control over your life.
    ?Resentment - Anger at others for taking advantage of you.
    ?Frustration - Why did I allow that to happen?
    Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This　makes perfect sense. It's a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with　someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more　ｉｍｐｏｒｔａｎｔ it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others！
    But before you decide to act assertively, you have to decide if you can live
    with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive
    response  (积极的回应)，some people 　might react differently.
    How to be effectively（有效地） assertive:
    ?Use "I" statements. Keep the focus on the problem you're having. "I'd like to be able to tell my stories without interruption." instead of "You're always interrupting my stories ! "
    ?Use facts, not opinions. "Did you know that shirt has a hole?" instead of　"You're not going out looking like THAT, are you?"
    ?Express ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. "I get angry when he breaks his promises. " instead of "He makes me angry. "
    ? Make clear and direct requirements. Don't invite the person to say no. "Will  you please?" instead of　'Would you mind．．．?" or "Why don't you．．．?"
    ?Keep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don't try to explain yourself.
    小题1:The writer probably agrees that­­­____________.
    A．you should consider others' response before you act assertively
    B．you should be assertive if you want to get good marks
    C．assertiveness is the ability to infringe others' rights.
    D．assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings
    小题2:The expression "hold yourｇround" probably means “_________________”
    A．reach an agreement
    B．insist on your point
    C．keep your word
    D．keep on fighting
    小题3:Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive?
    A．Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice.
    B．Expressing ownership of others' thoughts.
    C．Making requirements directly and clearly.
    D．Using your opinions instead of facts.

    One summer vacation in my college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea was exciting. Then I had second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.
    Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed(沮丧). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious(焦虑); don’t do what makes you depressed.
    In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.
    Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern.
    When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright（害怕）. If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies?
    In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists（心理学家） call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isn’t anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: you’ll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.
    The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
    小题1:We can infer from the passage that the author________. 
    A．finds it difficult to make decision
    B．has found out what causes anxiety
    C．was encouraged by Duke Ellington’s stage fright
    D．no longer feels anxious about new experiences
    小题2:What does the word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means?
    A．a person’s loss of confidence little by little
    B．the natural development of a child’s abilities
    C．the inborn ability to avoid anxious situations
    D．the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety
    小题3:Which of the following opinions does the writer probably accept?
    A．Anxiety can be a positive drive
    B．Hesitation leads to depression.
    C．Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.
    D．Depression is a signal that one is growing up.
    小题4:What's the best title for the passage?
    A．Confidence: Key to Success
    B．Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name
    C．Depression: A Psychological Appearance
    D．Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression

    All the wisdom of the times, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us in books, but we must know how to make use of this treasure. The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
    I’m very interested in people and finding out about them. Some of the most amazing people I’ve met could only  be found in a writer’s imagination, then in his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends and new worlds.
    Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the writer’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
    Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate(分开的), in some way they are connected with each other. The same ideas, or related(相关的) ones, appear in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books, but with different solutions(解决方法) according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other. They connect the past, the present and the future and have their own generations (age groups), like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.
    Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on(专注于) books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won’ t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time — and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t suffer during the process.
    小题1:Which of the following ideas may the writer of this article agree with?
    A．You will never meet amazing people in your life unless you read.
    B．You think actively instead of getting facts passively（被动地）when reading.
    C．You will get much delight from any book that you are told to read.
    D．You can relax yourself by reading because it involves little thinking.
    小题2:What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
    A．We can often find something connected with ourselves in books.
    B．Different writings at different times share the same characteristics.
    C．The same problems will appear in different books with similar solutions.
    D．Reading books which are written for your generation is more helpful to you.
    小题3:What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?
    A．To advise us to enjoy ourselves by reading.
    B．To encourage us to make full use of libraries.
    C．To encourage us to find out solutions in books.
    D．To advise us to discuss books with other people.
